Absolutely gorgeous.....
I think thats an absolutely stunning sexy colour. I've actually seen one in the flesh which was purple & green two tone (Evergreen or Scarab I believe).......
Re: Nice one!!
I concur - it's a great paint job and suits the curves of the M. I have been look at So-Cal flip blues that are similar to estoril but kick out more shades.. but then everyone knows I'm into modding but for me this is tame and well thought.Bloke wrote:I think that is quite nice actually!!

Where I come from thats tacky, definitely TACKY actually pretty much any other colour other than original is a proof of bad taste.

Re: hi
Ultimately.. probably but it depends on who you sell to, quality of paintwork (I have found my local bodyshop man far better than BMW). Most cars need paintwork tending to at some point.. sometimes it's best to repaint the whole car to get a good match and finish. I wouldn't fancy a BMW trade-in.. you of course lose any BMW warranty mind.321bhp wrote:but don't you think the re-sale value of this m will be lower,than normal
Plan B (if you're like me) is not to commit the heinous act of selling the M in the first place. Custom, drive... enjoy..
I stand by my earlier HO - that's a cracking colour on a cracking car.

The car's nice but not to my taste. My feeling goes with your view Jon. If I were to go for a flip respray, it would have to be different shades of blue with the existing Estoril. Now that would be truly tasteful, with just enough subtlety not to look like a Nova enthusiast after his small lottery syndicate win.
Which reminds me, Jon, have you had your front-end sprayed, or will it be 'au naturelle' [cue Spokey ]. If it's to be the former, it could be an opportune moment for the flip-job
My babe's just had a new nose, and there are a couple of minor differences from original. I'd appreciate a hint or two for posting pics.

Utterly butterly obnoxious I can't believe anyone with a modicum of taste could actually like these multi-tone colour schemes. It's like metalflake etc, best seen on a Yankee hot rod but I suppose it takes all sorts I would think it is murder to try to "blend in" a repair ding.
[321 bhp. Das ist gut ja?
Second one not for me
Lost its subtlety

The second is disgusting. Must be in the States [geddit :roll:], surely.

STILL...... ITS TACKY, ITS NAFF and please guys DON't let me down as all Z3 owners I've met until this day were people of good taste and if they wanted a Nova they would have bought one!!!
Ditto

Hi
i think some cars can get away with it and some cant,on a tvr multi-tones look good and people expect that on a tvr,you would not expect it on say a rolls royce or a ferrari ,porche,BMW, i think its up to the owner to decide but ,the cars gotta be right for the colour,and i think the z3 dosent take it to well,now a nova,clio,escort,etc yes,
hi
no im not saying that,i think that when a car comes out as new and you see all the colours availible in the brouchure ,it sometimes comes as a bit of a shock when you see something differant, take del-boy ,rodney trotter ,now the yellow 3 wheeler just wouldnt be the same in multi-coloured ,its gotta be yellow,if BMW had brought out multi-coloured options on there cars we wouldnt think anything off it,a bit like TVR have you dont think any differant about the TVR as you know thats already a colour they do,ya see

This just shows up the different tastes people on this board have, what suits one somebody else will hate, this has got to be or everybody would be driving plain white cars.FYI my Montreal blue looks different colours in different lights and looks purple in flashlight photos

Agree
Like most of you I think the first photo is stunning and those wheels are the biz, the second is definately not.
Shame on those of you who think that the rest of us who liked the first photo paint job have no taste - and feel the need to say so (not mentioning any names ) . You are seriously outnumbered here as it seems the majority of us like it. To each his own, and everyones likes or dislikes are equally valid...

Re: I'M WIT TERRY (AKA 321bhp)!!!
Paint as std..bonnet anything but.. just being fresh makes a diff and painter commented how Estoril had some natural flip qualities and was a bloody hard colour to match/blend.. i.e. a lot of green in it. Looking at flips and spectraflare finishes for next year.
Which reminds me, Jon, have you had your front-end sprayed, or will it be 'au naturelle' [cue Spokey ]. If it's to be the former, it could be an opportune moment for the flip-job

PM Tim if you have any probs with images - he put me right.

Thx.. I'm going to re-design the front stripes so they curl down ala Martini-racer. Given that's its std Estoril.. it's amazing what flip qualities it has.. body shop commented on how much torquise is in the colour..more noticeable on the Z than on say an E36 or E46..midgetmagoo wrote:...sorry I'm a bit late joining in this but the first one gets my vote....I think it looks superb! Flip paint is an odd one to call you either love it or really hate it.......but my car's black so what do I know?
